Riches and Robberies Mixed in London and Abroad
The periodical notes a daylight and street crimes report with a London context. A young man killed after missing a carriage seat near Essex Road. Robberies by a landlady near Salisbury Court and a money dropper known as Jackson are described along with police detentions and suspicions on London Bridge. Dispatches cover Virginia frontier murders, royal addresses from Cornwall and Plymouth congratulating the birth of a prince, stock market changes, and European political tremors including Sweden, France, Luxembourg, and the East India Company.
